Sky Andrews is a character purely from my imagination. There isn't much to say about her, except that I wish that I had done this drawing differently. If I were to draw her a second time, I would draw the whole picture in color, because Sky is supposed to have a bold sort of contrast to her features: white skin, black hair, and vivid green eyes. Although I enjoyed playing with different elements-- for example, casting one half of her face in light and the other in darkness-- I would rather have done it all in color, with a dark background.
Although I am not a Justin Bieber fan, my friends convinced me to draw the picture on the front of his famous album: One Time. Much to my surprise, I actually had a great time drawing this piece. Justin's skin is very fair, with rose-colored undertones, which proved highly entertaining as well as challenging to duplicate. After working on the piece for several hours, I decided that it would be complete with a neutral grey background, so as not to distract from the picture itself.Oh, and a fun fact for Justin's thousands of fans..... the world-famous "Bieber hair" is near impossible to draw.
This is a scene from one of my favorite musicals: Sweeney Todd. I used an ebony pencil, and tried to capture the picture's essence by using mostly shadows, and incorporating just a few flashes of white. I liked this because the white produces an excellent contrast, while the monochromatic shades of gray and black give the drawing a dark, Gothic feel.
As a huge Green Day fan, I thought it appropriate to include at least one project featuring my favorite band. I made a colallage of album covers and photos of the band. This was the first time I've tried creating a collage on Corel, and it was an interesting experience. Green Day is a revolutionary band. The lead singer writes songs that often target the problems with war, hypocrisy, America, and our government. Therefore, I made the background for the collage a torn American flag.
This picture of Eminem was one of my first digital art pieces. Although relatively simple (the picture was merely converted into a negative image and then font was added using WordArt) this was more or less just my first few steps into the world of technological art. What I learned from the experience is that even the most simple digital pieces can look very impressive. I really like the way this piece came out-- especially with the quote from one of his songs--even if it wasn't one of the more challenging.
